Q: What is the sentence for Drug Trafficking methamphetamine?

A:

Drug Trafficking charges are an extremely serious offense. Very few crimes in Florida have a mandatory prison sentence included in the law and drug trafficking is one of those offenses. Drug Trafficking has nothing to do with selling or delivering of a drug. Drug Trafficking sentences are based solely on the weight of the drug possessed by the defendant. Drug Trafficking is a first degree felony punishable by up to 30 years in Florida State Prison. The required weight and sentences imposed for drug trafficking methamphetamine are:

• 3 years mandatory prison and $50,000 fine – 14 grams or more but less than 28 grams of methamphetamine.

• 7 years mandatory prison and $100,000 fine – 28 grams or more but less than 200 grams of methamphetamine.

• 15 year mandatory prison and $250,000 fine – 200 grams or more of methamphetamine.

• 25 year mandatory prison and $500,000 fine – 28 grams or more but less than 30 kilograms of methamphetamine.
